Bullish Luck watch... swimming!

It means that it doesn't allow the trachea to open to it's full extent, which means the horse cannot breath as easily. Usually referred to as 'roaring' or 'making a noise'.

I cannot remember how they are graded, but I have a feeling it goes up to grade 4 (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

This article will be able to explain it much better:

Oh okay thanks... I've heard the expression but wasn't sure if this was the same (as a roarer).

Feel better Perfect Smile.
